they'll go with mitt romney. mitt romney has done a good job attacking through the middle. there's a lot more enthusiasm with republican voters. i haven't totaled polls. i've looked at them. my guys are smiling, too. i think ohio is going to go romney's way and i think that it's going to be one of those things that if you have somebody like rob portman working so closely with the romney campaign leading the charge, very popular senator, i think they'll do well in ohio. >> john, you have been getting bad press, the republicans have for this new ad running in ohio. let me play a little bit of it for you. >> who will do more for the auto industry? not barack obama. obama took gm and chrysler into bankruptcy and sold chrysler to italians who are going to build jeeps in china. mitt romney will fight for every american job. >> chrysler thought that ad was so misleading they put out a statement making the point that, in fact, they're adding 1100 jobs in detroit and any jeeps that are made in china are for the people of china. was that a mistake on their part? a lot of newspapers h

ad about auto jobs going to china. it's been discredited by every fact checker. is that an ad that should come down? >> it's 100% correct and accurate. the romney campaign stands behind it. the reality is, what fiat is doing and the way they're going to outsource and put jeep and others overseas, it's accurate. i think mitt romney has taken the right stance on a structured bankruptcy. it's ultimately what president obama ended up doing, so there's been a lot of battle about that. i know particularly in ohio and what not, but the ad is 100% accurate. >> according to the detroit news, which endorsed mitt romney your candidate, chrysler previously built jeeps in china and the move is not unusual. the ford motor company builds ford vehicles in china for chinese buyers. general motors bukes in china for local consumers. >> well, but as you point out they previously did it. what the -- what's happening now is, fiat's moved to push jeep more into china. so the ad speaks for itself. the romney campaign stands by it and believe

look, the only outsourcing in this race is mitt romney. he was part of a company that was a pioneer in outsourcing. he said let detroit go bankrupt. there's not any middle class person in america that should trust their job or their future in this economy to mitt romney. >> one of the things we hear in that ad is that mr. romney quotes, he has a plan for the auto industry. well, what is that plan? i mean, reporters have been asking his campaign for his plan for the auto industry. they got absolutely nothing. what is it? >> i know. reporters asked his campaign this morning. guess what? it was crickets. he hadn't said what his plan was. we know what his plan was in '08 and '09. he said let detroit go bankrupt. he said we don't have any business saving that industry. let the free market reign. instead of going into one of the worst recessions, we would have sunk into a depreths if mitt romney would have had his way. detroit would have gone bankrupt, michigan would have been in the tank, ohio would have been in the tank. mitt romney is wrong o

, but they're very skeptical of romney. so i think it's going to come down to party politics. democrats voting for democrats and republicans voting for republicans. in that case ground game is crucial. i think you're right in ohio ground game is going to favor obama. i think the only silver lining is that in 2008 obama won 22 of ohio's 88 counties making it clear that the population battle over the cities is really what's important. so having the political offices all over the state might not actually be the determining factor, but i think -- look, i'll be honest. i have ohio going blue in my electoral map. >> look, it's creditical to oba and the campaign they win this ground game. you see evidence in the polls of republicans on the whole are more motivated to throw out barack obama than democrats on the whole are to re-elect him. that doesn't mean there aren't lots of motivated democrats out there. they yell at me on twitter. you get over 90% from republicans a lot. it's not that high from democrats. you know what makes me

he's focused on his job. it does have some risk with it. he will be responsible and have to take sfont for fema and all the work they do. i think the biggest advantage, though, is these are times, you know, people are skeptical of government. people are always talking about cutting the size of government and spending, but these are times that people understand the real value of government, the federal government in coordinating and funding these efforts. the republicans have a problem here because they argue constantly. mitt romney said we should privatize fema or at least get rid of it and put it back to the states. that's a terrible argument to be defending this week. >> that was something brought up during the primary debates. joe, the former president is going to campaign for president obama later today in youngstown, ohio. the latest cnnle poll gives the president a four-point lead over governor romney. the president is struggling with white voters. 41% among white men. let me play what senator jim webb said to chuck todd on this issue

best for jobs and debt and energy in virginia. but right now, the focus clearly is on public safety. >> governor, we've been watching some clips taken from ocean city, maryland. and now we're looking at a scene from virginia beach. and i realize that law enforcement officials are stretched thin in situations like this. but what, if anything, can be done about these knuckleheads who insist upon going out and maybe trying to surf the big waves or getting pictures of the big waves and come into close contact with potential danger that puts other people in danger? >> you know, we're going to have law enforcement offices doing everything that they can. but at some point when it becomes too dangerous for law enforcement, if people make risky and bad decisions, they're going to be doing that at their own peril. so you always have some during these storms, but overwhelmingly people in virginia are heeding the calls. we've got lots of shelters set up. we've got several places that have emergency mandatory evacuatio evacuations. they're com
